The market for Additives is a substantial one, with the government spending around R9.6 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding or shrinking dramatically. With 168 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, and you'll be competing with a lot of other organisations for contracts from 19 different government departments. It's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards black-owned businesses, with about 67% of the allocation going to them, so your B-BBEE level could play a significant role in your success. If I were you, I'd make sure to get your B-BBEE certification in order and focus on building relationships with key decision-makers in those 19 departments to get a foothold in this market.
